I'm using Fedora 18 Nightly Build and Fedora has very obsolete packages (example: fotoxx, xboard, lazarus). I have contacte the maintainers, but they didn't do anything.

I wonder how many people have gone through the hassle of following the procedures outlined here: Fedora's policy for nonresponsive package maintainers - it's inhuman and looks more like an insult, than something you can and will want to do. In short - Fedora's developers do not give a fuck about their own distro.

The sad fact of life is that there are hundreds of unmaintained packages in Fedora.

Wow, even Fedora developers have finally realized people need something stable and supported for a long time.

That's what RHEL and CentOS are for. Fedora needs to become a rolling-release distro, focusing on the Rawhide branch and GNOME development. They put too much time/energy into trying to get a perfect snapshot/release of something inherently chaotic (the bleeding edge of Linux).

This, this, a million times this!

I want a true rolling distribution that is on the cutting edge, yet not bleeding edge.

Then they could also release about once every 2 years a snapshot tagged as LTS version that would have support like ubuntu LTS has.
